Abstract

The photon plays a fundamental role not only in science, but also in cosmology, which is concerned with the origin of the universe and its development. A photon is an elementary particle without mass that is responsible for electromagnetic interactions. It is based on the standard model of particle physics, which also explains the behaviour of photons and particles at the subatomic level. Photons have their origin in the Big Bang and there is nothing in the standard model to suggest that photons are associated with an extra dimension. Nevertheless, it is an interesting idea to consider the metaphysical aspect of an additional dimension of the photon. This paper speculates on a connection between the photon and an extra dimension based on current physics and analyzes it with the help of a theoretical thought experiment from special relativity. The different behaviours between energetic and material particles that can be observed in the laboratory daily should also not be ignored and play a decisive role.
